爱尔兰王牌乐队The Cranberries（小红莓）华丽回归，献上情人节贺礼。在满地凋零的蔷薇中绽放生命最后的光华......
日前有消息称，爱尔兰国宝级乐队The Cranberries（小红莓）即将推出他们阔别乐坛十年的首张新专辑。
The Cranberries 1990年代成立于爱尔兰利默里克，与U2、Sinead O’Connor（谢妮德-奥康娜）、Enya（恩雅）等一样，被誉为是带领爱尔兰音乐走向世界的重要力量。2001年乐队发行了《Wake Up and Smell the Coffee》之后就再也没有作品问世，此后乐队陷入沉寂。2003年，随着乐队成员们纷纷宣布“单飞”，乐队沉寂了六年。这期间，Dolores曾经发行过两张个人专辑。日前Dolores O´Riordan确认说，他们目前已经回到了录音室，正在录制新专辑。
Dolores O´Riordan在接受采访时表示，“我们现在差不多算是从我们停止的地方重新开始。。。整个过程非常有意思，我们也是很顺其自然的有了想法，我们写的很多歌都是没有过多考虑就写出来的，灵感很自然的就来了。”
“我想我们每个人都对彼此以及我们所做的事情尊敬有加。在2003年年那会儿，我们最后的日子里，我们大家都跟装样子差不多，现在我们真的很开心，也真的对我们一起拥有的东西感到欣赏。”
据悉，The Cranberries的这张新专辑名为《Roses》，将于2012年的情人节发行。

Life for Rent is the second studio album by English singer and songwriter Dido, released by Arista Records on 29 September 2003. The album was produced by Rollo Armstrong and American songwriter Rick Nowels. Work on the album began in mid-2002

Today’s Apple Event in Cupertino, California saw the launch of the new iPhone 6, Apple’s digital wallet, and iWatch. The real headliner, however, came at the end when U2 appeared as a special guest. After debuting a new song live, the band announced that their latest album, Songs of Innocence, is being released for free on iTunes starting today. Yes, they simultaneously pulled a Beyoncé and Radiohead.
Available to all of Apple’s 500 million customers free of charge, it marks the biggest album release of all time. Songs of Innocence will remain exclusive to Apple through October.
According to Rolling Stone, Innocence was primarily produced by Danger Mouse with additional help from Joshua Tree collaborator Flood. In an interview, Bono said the group listened to music they loved in the Seventies, referencing David Bowie, Joy Division, and The Ramones. In fact, the lead track is called “The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)”. Another track, “This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now”, is a tribute to The Clash. Meanwhile, Lykke Li appears on the track “The Troubles”.
A physical release for the record is set for October 13th. A deluxe edition includes acoustic session of songs from the album and four additional tracks: “Lucifer’s Hands”, “The Crystal Ballroom”, “The Troubles (Alternative version)” and “Sleep Like a Baby Tonight (Alternative Perspective Mix by Tchad Blake)”. A double white-vinyl LP will also be available.

No Need to Argue is the second studio album by Irish rock band The Cranberries, released in 1994. It was the band's most successful album, and has sold about 17 million copies worldwide. It contains the band's most successful single to date, "Zombie". The album's mood is darker than that on Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?. It shows a more mature performance by lyricist and vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, writing about war, death, love and disappointment. Her voice is clearer, without the previous album's double and triple voice layering. In some of the songs, the band decided to take on a rockier and heavier side, using distortion and increasing the volume. The song "Yeat's Grave" [sic] is about William Butler Yeats, and quotes one of his poems, No Second Troy. The hit song "Zombie", written by lead singer Dolores O'Riordan, is according to her about the IRA bombings in 1993 that resulted in the death of two children.
